you can still use Duke, you just gotta cut the misogynist BS out. He can still be a caricature of action move baddasses and quip like an idiot, just maybe lean more into the parody instead. I don’t particularly care about Duke but he’s not beyond saving. He just needs to change

Her obvious concern for nothing but her own self interest make this whole Central Park incident seem line one in a long line of bullshit she’s done to black people. And, yeah, probably other people in general.

Man, I wonder what it’s like to be so insulated from guilt, shame, and public opinion that you can literally feel nothing about any of this and just maintain status quo. It must be so relaxing.

If they can make any sort of significant, long lasting change at a company of the size of Activision Blizzard, I hope it helps the tide rise and lift up boats across the industry.

For those keeping score at home...

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her.

Reminder that accountability is a common fear of the privileged and/or powerful. Even if they are aware of their actions or not, morality or ethics is no longer the judge of that.

Shitty people rise to the top because they have no qualms about stepping on everyone else beneath them. In other news, water is wet and fire burns.

This is a great take, and it’s the part that bothers me about this.

If only there were more collectors in it for the joy and not solely for money. I’m aware that some collectors enjoy both, but that’s why I said, “…solely…”

Not to mention that when you have a bunch of them on a shelf you cant tell which game is which without pulling them all out because the spine is on the floor. I applaud it’s uniqueness, but it is too impractical.

I do miss the cool PC boxes though. They worked better because the CDs came in a jewel case so you didnt…

That’s because you don’t matter to them. This is not going to cause a blip in the sales of their games.

ActiBlizz seems absolutely determined to discourage me from ever giving them money again.

High-end law firms work all over on all manner of lawyerly shit, I get it. But Actibliz could really stand to spend a bit more time thinking about how choices like this make them look. It’s not like Amazon’s union-busting efforts are flying under the radar.
